We are pleased to announce two upcoming online events that bring together leading scholars in periodical studies to explore the transnational circulation of print and the role of translation in periodical cultures. These events provide an opportunity to engage with new publications and current research, and to reflect on key questions that shape the field across languages, regions, and historical periods. We warmly invite colleagues, researchers, and students to join us for these conversations.
